I think they are there for a reason and not to mock our intelligence. It’s how we handle and discipline ourselves properly and by the look at it these days, some people are just plain stubborn but nice article though.

Hey Sheylara,

I think the lines are there for structuring reason. Without it you wont know where the doors will end up for those stations without barricade. So it probably will not be removed for safety sake; imagine some KS auntie and uncle pushing ppl to get to the door, what happens if someone trips over the platform? (I dun even wanna think about that)

Actually, we are not the only ones having such structure. I have seen the taiwanese queueing neatly behind the yellow line, they have no problem with that. The only difference btw our MRT and their metro is that they only have yellow line on one side of the door, and so everyone form one nice straight line. It kinda resembles how S’poreans form a nice straight line when queuing for the toilet cubicle. I think SMRT should seriously consider adopting changing their yellow line to just one side. It may really help.

Don’t you know the original yellow line isn’t good enough either? That’s why they’re now building walls on the above ground platforms, to keep Singaporeans from further embarrassing themselves and falling “accidentally” onto the tracks.

he he he he………i think singaporeans really are stupid with or without that yellow lane. lime brained, stupid thinkers and undeniably garbage creatures, these singaporeans don’t even know where they come from.

you know, i realise there’s a huge problem about singaporeans’ attitude. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW TO APPRECIATE! i know you may have heard a lot from teachers, but you really don understand how to appreciate! the government is practically feeding you ppl with whatever u need! you don have to worry about anything. so you don understand how it feels to STARF, or to FEAR for your lives. Can you pls don take things for granted? its annoying!

wow this is like the story of my singaporean life. my solution to the problem? stop using MRT.

life has never been better.

ps. i would like to add that in MY country (thailand – since at brief glance we seem to be having a competition), people actually queue according to the yellow lines.

http://www.sheylara.com_ I want to comment about this website. In Singapore, there are not only Singaporeans but also PR, Pass-holders and visitors. Now the taxi fees are also higher. So to travel in Singapore, taking MRT is the best way to travel. So not all the people know about the service of MRT. The instructions for passengers how to take MRT must be required. So I consider that it is not the embarrassment for the country. It is just the instruction for all the people living in Singapore to travel safely and comfortably.

This is part of the MTE (Mass Transit Etiquette) program that was instituted by the PCP (Politically Correct Police). Washington DC is step up the same way. Obvious thing, made obvious.

Down with the MTE Program and the PCP!!!!!
